TALL FLOWERS ARE FINE FOR BACKGROUNDS

Giant California Sunshine Aster 
ASTERS—Continued 
DOUBLE AMERICAN BRANCHING. 2 feet. The plants are 
quite spreading, bearing many good-sized blossoms, fully 
double with petals evenly incurved—the most regular and 
symmetrical of all Asters. They bloom at the same time as 
the Cregos. 
Wilt-resistant strains: 
Ball's White Rose Purple 
Peerless Pink Lavender Ruby Red (Heart of France) 
Any one of the above: Pkt., 10c. 
Mixed, pkt., 10c. 
DOUBLE AMERICAN BEAUTY. 2>/ 2 feet. This group is simi¬ 
lar to American Branching. However, the flowers, though 
fewer, are longer stemmed and larger and about 2 weeks 
later in season. There are two strains, Early Beauty and 
Late Beauty. We supply the earlier type. 
Crimson Peach Blossom Rose 
Lavender Purple White 
Any one of the above: Pkt., 15c. 
Mixed, pkt., 1 5c. 
GIANT CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE. 2’/ 2 feet. This artistic 
flower has a single row of outer petals adorned with a 
tufted center of short florets. A new race, taller and larger 
flowered than any of the older Sunshine types. Mixed, pkt., 
25c. 
Amaranthus 
Annual colored foliage plants of easy culture. 
CAUDATUS (Love-Lies-Bleeding). 3 feet. A rapid growing 
sort with long, drooping crimson flower spikes. Pkt., 5c. 
TRICOLOR (Joseph's Coat). 21/2 feet. The brilliant leaves 
of this variety appear in red, yellow and green. Pkt., 10c. 
Arabis 
ROCK CRESS. (hP-R). 6 inches. One of the showiest and 
earliest of spring flowering plants. Its blanket of pure 
white flowers will brighten the edge of any border or a 
sunny spot in the rock garden. It is easy to grow and very 
hardy. 
ALPINA. Pkt., 10c. 
Balloon Vine 
CARDIOSPERMUM (Love-in-a-Puff ). (hA-C). 10 feet. The 
numerous seed pods of this curious vine are inflated 
pouches resembling balloons. It is a rapid growing, graceful 
climber that should have some support. The small flowers 
are white. It succeeds well in light soil. The botanical 
name comes from the white heart-shaped spots on the 
black seeds which are often strung as beads. Pkt., 10c. 
Balsam 
LADY'S SLIPPER. (hA). 18 inches. These bushy plants grow 
well in partial shade, develop rapidly, and stand transplant¬ 
ing when of good size. The double blossoms nestle close 
to the central stalk. If the leaves hide the blossoms, they 
may be trimmed back. Require plenty of moisture. 
DOUBLE TALL or CAMELLIA-FLOWERED. Mixed. Pkt., 5c. 
Calliopsis 
(hA). A graceful plant with finely cut foliage producing a 
wealth of brilliant flowers, about 1 >/ 2 inches across, daisy¬ 
like in form, broad petals slightly toothed at outside edges. 
On tall swinging stems they are not only decorative in the 
garden but make fine bouquets. Bloom profusely from June 
until late autumn if flowers are kept cut. They like sunshine. 
MIXED. A fine mixture in shades from golden yellow to 
maroon. Pkt., 5c. 
PERENNIAL CALLIOPSIS. See Coreopsis. 
Calendula (Pot Marigold) 
(hA). 18 inches. This old favorite has few rivals as the 
showiest annual in the garden, or as a cut flower. In most 
climates it blooms all summer if the seed pods are kept off, 
but the brilliant flowers are particularly valuable in late fall. 
SUNSHINE (Chrysantha). This is an outstanding new Calen¬ 
dula with Chrysanthemum-shaped flowers of bright golden 
yellow. The long clean stems make them especially good 
for cutting. Pkt., 10c. 
LEMON QUEEN. A reliable variety supplying large blossoms 
of clear lemon-yellow. It has long been a standard Calen¬ 
dula. The flowers are smaller than those of Ball's Gold, 
but more resistant to sun. Pkt., 10c. 
Calendula, Lemon Queen 
Ccinna 
(tP). 3 feet. There is fine dignity in this stately plant. 
Each stalk produces broad leaves of green or bronze, topped 
by a cluster of large flowers of varied and vivid colors. 
Usually they are started from roots, but they can easily be 
grown from seed. The seeds, however, are very hard and 
should be notched or filed and soaked before planting. 
LARGE FLOWERING MIXED. Pkt., 10c. 
Candytuft 
(hA). 1 foot. Somewhat like Sweet Alyssum, both flowers 
and plants are a little more open and larger. They are splen¬ 
did for use in the border and as cut flowers. They bear quan¬ 
tities of single 4-petaled blossoms in terminal clusters. Plenty 
of sunshine and only a moderate amount of watering are 
conditions that favor their best development. 
UMBELLATA. Compact varieties liberally sprinkled with flat 
clusters of small florets. 
Lilac Purple White Rose Cardinal 
Any of above: Pkt., 10c each. 
Mixed, pkt., 5e. 
EMPRESS or ROCKET. A white sort with extra large clusters; 
superior to the common white variety. Pkt., 10c. 
GIANT HYACINTH-FLOWERED WHITE. Several large bold 
floral spikes, each resembling a well-formed Hyacinth, are 
grouped upright about a stout stem. Pkt., 10c.
